to be honest - there's only so many times you can keep doing DOND before it all goes tits up... They should've tried harder instead of DOND this, that and the other - they got ridiculous.

if they last more than a week lol

Warm temperature ones definitely should look better

DOND actually has kept the AWP going for a good few years Imo. It's still to many the only reason people still play them. Like the TV programme it was very popular for a few years, but eventually you can have enough of something. As for fruity companies closing, well I suppose us addicts would have wished it on them. But one of the first things an addict needs to realise is you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Until you do that, you will not quit.

In modern machines

leds have there place

It’s not how they look, it’s how 12v leds don’t like being pulsed with 34v, but I guess you missed my post with the explanation

It's all Gauselmann Group.

thay look good mate

Another 1. Just edited the image a little just incase the font is to close to the left, may be useful to someone in the future other than Matty. So thought I’d post it

11 years old and still going strong

Astra as far as i know won't be shutting down. The rest i have no idea. DOND licence they got out bid. Blueprint now have the licence.

LOL, I recognise the writing, as I did those. I believe I still have the same files here from last time, but not 100% if I have any spare blank ROMS. Are they the 27c4001's?

Thanks for this. Not one I used to play........until now.

Not a massive fan of the leds myself, they look way to bright

I think a unanimous dislike for the leds Rob, I agree also😂😂😂

Technology failed on this instance. Go back to good old fashioned incandescent lamps.

Totally agree .big thumbs down for the leds

Agree about LEDs I'm afraid. They dont look right tbh. Also the heat may damage the artwork.

Not wrong!

Also.... they look awful.

oh led's, watch for them getting hot! 12v led's really don't like being pulsed with 34v 12v bulbs work with being pulsed with 34v because they have resistance and draw 100ma so a short pulse effectively the bulb sees 12v across it, you don't get that with LED, they get pulsed with the full 34v! THAT'S why they look so bright and most likely the silicon junction inside them will overheat and burn out with a short life

send me that rom and i will try to graft a leg on it and burn you a new one if it helps

Think it’s sorted now, I’ve got meltdown Roms here

Get the files (I don't want to be responsible if they are wrong), send me ROMs blank or not and i'll do em. I'll leave it with you. Sorry just read you have someone lined up to do them....

Hi all Im very sorry to have to announce that Bell Fruit games factory will be closing. The clear out starts in Jan. All of the shop floor are being made redundant. I’m not 100% about development but would assume it won’t be good for them either. It’s such a shame but the market has moved on so much. The video products are doing really well now making games easy to distribute. Online also takes a huge chunk of players. I have had some great years there and met some brilliant people. I wish them all good luck for the future :(. Cheers John
